Show me the post where CM of Blizz wrote about the legally of loot alert.
All that i readed from them about Loot Alert is "no third party programs are allowed".

OK, I guess it was only a reply ticket to a support ticket turnbuckle posted:

But it's a mail, it has no real value at all (accepting that the mail is legit), all the public forum post from blues are "no third party programas are allowed"
Can you link the forum showing a ban for loot alert please. All I see are people asking if they will get banned on many forums, never a true case of it.

banned people can't post on blizz forums if i'm not wrong....
If you want i could link you to spanish blizz forum with a response ticket from blizzard saying clearly Loot alert player caught = ban
http://eu.battle.net/d3/es/forum/topic/6101980692?page=1#6
But you said other d3 forums.
All I see are botters trying to make the case they weren't botting and use Loot Alert as a cop out.
I dabbled with it a week after a multiboxing buddy told me about it. I guess we see but I doubt it will trigger warden as it's not injecting memory like "other" 3rd party aps.
There's a multiboxer streamer thats been using it for weeks. I guess I'll follow his stream and see what happens.
edit - I don't see that CM response stating someone was clearly banned for Loot Alert, just stating they can't guaranteed you wont get banned.
Can you copy/paste that part. thanks.

CM's never told anyone "you're banned for using xxxxxx program" and you know it 
They allways use the words "use of third party programs"

Finished Nightmare last night just before hitting 52 on my Monk (solo so far). I haven't been using the auction house yet, but looking at how much it costs to craft the level 55+ stuff and how cheap you can get things on the AH, I'm about to start, I think.
I'm still fighting against the popular builds because I really like exploding palm and seven sided strike. I really enjoy the game so far.

Well you clearly stated this earlier.
Then you tell me..
"CM's never told anyone "you're banned for using xxxxxx program" and you know it
"We all know how Blizz goes about stating things. Are we just assuming things here?
Show me this "response ticket from blizzard saying clearly Loot alert player caught = ban"

didn't you read the link??? :S
According to the terms of use of the program is illegal
Yes I did. That's why I asked for a copy/paste since I'm obviously missing that part.
Here's another thing to ponder.
If they really did a wave of Loot Alert bans, why isn't a ton of us in other forums stating they were banned??? Like the botter ban wave that caught hundreds... not one or two individual users claiming loot alert was the reason.
On twitch now, 4 streamers all multiboxing with loot alert. No ones worried.
Anyway live by the sword, die by the sword.

Well, that's entering on pure speculation about what people must write in forums...
That is not my war my friend
That is not my war my friend
Well that thread and quote still doesn't explicitly state Loot Alert is the reason for being banned, just the typical vague Blizzard canned response of "3 party apps"
I'm gonna go with , it's safe to say we are in the clear for now. Until someone takes that open source L.A. code and cross the line of what's a bannable offense.

Yeah, I'm not worried about loot alert at all. I guess if I get banned for using it I'll have a good reason to get unhooked. If Blizzard would make the legendary drop sound independent from the game's sound effect control, I'd have no use for loot alert. Most of the time I'm playing Ill be listening to spotify, itunes, or a radio broadcast of a sporting event and have the sound effects and music in diablo muted or set to very low.

All I want for Christmas is some patch info!!!!!!
Same here. I haven't played with the sound on since June.
And when I remember to turn it on, LootAlert lets Barney Stinson tell me when I have a Legen...wait for it... dary.

same..they need to make loot audio separate from everything I listen to music 100% of the time, and would love to not have to listen the the fighting sounds...DAT loot sound <3
I'm getting to the point where I'll only want to do ubers if I have another frost wiz with me and it's MP10.
Just did a run at MP8 where the Magda fight took 20 minutes because everyone else kept dying. Usually I get butterfly-fucked at least once in that set, but no I had the honor of staying alive this time. One of the four got zero of the three organs. I got two of three. MP8.
My int HF ring has some min-max damage and 6CC, and my dex HF ring has 6ias/chd/socket. It's one thing for all of this to take so much time, and another to basically have no realistic hope of getting a ring that's better than what I already have.
Meanwhile - forget about crafting. Outright. Not worth it in the least. AH has no shortage of better things to find for less money.

Good. I like where my Monk is at now, and I don't think I'm following any sort of standard build. I just figured out what skills work well together based on my stats and went from there.

Have they said anything lately on what's next or what they're working on? I haven't played in a while, but I'm sure some new changes would get me back for a bit. I grabbed Torchlight 2 during the Thanksgiving sale and Diablo 3 must've spoiled me, because that game is just not very fun. D3 combat just feels so meaty and satisfying that it's hard to enjoy something like TL2.

I'm glad I'm playing through Hell on SC with my WD before I go much further with my HC WD. Since I haven't seen a lot of this game in a while, I forgot how easy it is to get one shot without appropriate gear.
I'm finishing Act 3 at level 58 or so, so I'll be 60 just as I delve into Act 4 and work to finish it. Then it's on to Inferno!

I was shocked when SK just about one shotted my monk on Hell. He was easy after I figured out the animation, but he was so easy to tank before that I hadn't been worrying about it.
Yea I just keep messing around with skills. I wish I could use one or two more skills, but I think the constraint makes playing with the synergy of skills a lot of fun.
It seemed easy and cheap to craft up to about level 45, but now the AH is way better. Do people use the AH for alt characters at lower levels?

Other than a retraction of upcoming PvP info ... nothin'.
I use the AH for my first set of Socketed items, and then usually that'll carry you through long enough for drops.
I also bought a Cain's set that is on it's fourth character. Good value!
prodystopian
Member
Oh nice, I was thinking about looking into a Cain's Set if I roll another class. How early do you get that first set of socketed items?
Level 15 for weapon/most items. Cains set is mid 20s.
And if you get enough sockets in your cain set/are careful with the magic modifiers (I recommend pickup range) - the set is good until mid 40s.
prodystopian
Member
Nice, thanks. I'll probably be playing a good bit over the next week. I'm really looking forward to hitting 60 and checking out Inferno, but if I get tired of the Monk maybe I'll roll a new class.

They did acknowledge that the rewards for doing MP10 (and higher MP in general) aren't good enough and it's something they're working on.
They've talked about some changes they may consider with reflect damage and also stated there's a bug with the way it works on Champion minions or lifelink, or lifesteal's ineffectiveness against lifelinked, reflect damage elites.
Something like that. There's some little grains of info out there that may or may not be part of an upcoming patch, but I'd think it's a safe bet that those things I mentioned will have some adjustments for the better.
They've also said they want to do something about mob density and in general find ways to make other areas and other acts more viable since everyone is stuck in act 3 (if efficiency is a concern, which it has to be in a game like this)

That is correct. I was banned from WoW once for the use of an item that was mistakenly given to my guild. We we were doing heroic Ulduar world first achievements in 25 man Ulduar with like 13 people when it first came out.
It was some bull shit and we were accused as cheaters but it was a fun time. All the accomplices were banned for 3 days and our guild leader was banned for life.

I remember them bringing up RD. They're supposed to be working on Monks too. I don't remember mob density though that would be awesome. Still no specifics or timelines, just vague ideas they want to accomplish. Which really isn't any better than our current situation regarding PvP.
I guess I was just really hoping for some specific information and a future patch to look forward to by now.

Has anyone ever sold anything valuable to the npc on accident? Well I just did.
Had a socketed echoing fury drop today. A little under 13k dps with a ton str. Easily the best drop I've ever had and a huge upgrade for my barb.
It happened during an uber run. We were a little pressed for time for an nv restack. Bag was full and I sold as quickly as possible. Realized my echoing fury got sold past the point of no return in the buyback tab.
Fuck........
I feel so bad right now
Maybe it's time I quit D3. A game shouldn't have me this upset.

Dont know if its possible in D3, but maybe try and contact Blizz so they can check their database to give it back?

I did a google search to see if anyone has been through this sort of thing. Apparently they have a policy in place where they can't obtain sold items.
I'm screwed.

There isn't a point of no return when selling items. All you gotta do is buy back some items and the ones below will start popping up!
